To answer a few of the questions to my questions!!!! LOL
As of right now I have the bone stock 327 210 horse motor with a Rochester 2Bbl on it.
As for the way the engine will be, now that is another story....!!!!:thumbsup:
The plan as of now at least is as follows;
Full motor rebuild to include .030 bore job, forged aluminum pistons to about 9.0-9.5:1, I may or may not stay with the stock heads, depending......
Either way I will get whatever head I use set up hopefully with 202 160 valves, "Beehive" springs, bronze guides and the hardened seats.
Valve train at this point will be Comp cams full roller steel rockers, with one of Comp cams latest set ups the "Thumpr" series roller cam and lifters.
Pete Jackson "quiet" gear drive for that (to me) cool whine...........
Manifold will be a Weiand Stealth (Idle to 6500-6800), with an Edelbrock performer carb in 650 cfm, electric choke.......
MSD 6a spark box, and some type of undetermined high volt coil.
Either Mallory Pro wires, a set of uber thick Taylor's.
My plan is that the motor will be making most / best power after about 1500-1800 rpm through about 5500 ish....I don't want to rev to the moon..........just part way there..........
So, as far as the highway thing goes, I will have it out there quite in- frequently, and the breakdown will be about 75% city (town) and 25% highway during nice weather.
My plan is that Motor combo, with the M20 and 355s will be pretty exhilarating..........
Now keep in mind, I am no Smokey Yunick, (Just dated myself) but I think that should be workable........
Feedback????
